Instructions
- 1
Combine the ground lamb, ground beef, grated onion, garlic, Aleppo pepper, cumin, sweet paprika, coriander, black pepper, salt, chopped parsley, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Mix firmly with your hands for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is cohesive and slightly sticky — it should hold its shape when squeezed.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up, which makes it easier to press onto the skewers.
